Full-time: Welsh 13, Grenoble 27. The Exiles were well beaten
3:12pm
Welsh 13, Grenoble 27 (Taukeiaho try)
3:09pm
Welsh 13 (Denbee try, Davies con), Grenoble 22
3:04pm
A private scuffle off-the-ball provides some entertainment, but referee takes no action other than awarding Grenoble a penalty
2:54pm
Grenoble have rung the changes. Can Welsh take advantage?
2:42pm
Welsh having to defend at full stretch now. This could be a tiring half for them
2:34pm
Welsh 6, Grenoble 22 (Ninard try, Courrent con)
2:31pm
Second-half underway. Welsh need a big improvement
2:16pm
Half-time: Welsh 6, Grenoble 15. Grenoble good value for their lead and Welsh look miles away from a bonus-point win
2:08pm
Welsh 6 (Davies pen), Grenoble 15
2:05pm
Welsh 3 (Davies pen), Grenoble 15
2:02pm
Welsh 0, Grenoble 15 (Bouchet try). Ooh la la!
1:58pm
The game is fairly open so far, but Welsh need to play more in the Grenoble half
1:53pm
Welsh 0, Grenoble 10 (Bouchet try, Courrent con)
1:46pm
Welsh 0 (Davies missed pen), Grenoble 3
1:35pm
Welsh 0, Grenoble 3 (Courrent pen)
1:34pm
Grenoble have made lively start and earn a penalty
1:31pm
And they're off
1:27pm
Welsh's 'victory' in Grenoble means they still have an outside chance of topping Pool 5 and reaching the quarter-finals. But realistically, they need five-point wins in their next two matches to have any chance of overhauling table-toppers Stade Francais.
1:24pm
Kick-off is at 1.30pm, maybe to allow our French visitors a spot of Christmas shopping afterwards?
1:20pm
London Welsh are looking to build on the unexpected boost they received this week when they were awarded a bonus-point victory instead of defeat in Grenoble. The French side won last Friday's match 20-9, but were found to have fielded an ineligible player, so Welsh picked up a 28-0 win instead.
